Privacy with Edublogs/Learnerblogs

Filed Under (Blogs, Technical How-to) by Robert Barden on 07-03-2007



Thanks to those who came to this week’s Multimedia Monday sessions and started with signing up to blogs.

One thing that came up was blog privacy, and excluding your class blog from search engines and the like.

When using edublogs, there is a process in the admin controls that you may want to enable.

  1. Click on the “Options” tab
  2. Click on the “Privacy” sub-tab
  3. Tick the box next to “I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors”
  4. Click on the “Update options” button

This process means it’s far more likely that people can’t find your blog simply by googling it, but would need to know the address (or follow a link to it from another site, such as perhaps our school website or Intranet).

We’ve included a screen shot with the steps marked out to help you with this simple process.
